    You'd use all 8. There are 4 per side. Front and back of the front and back of the LCA. Clear as mud, right?

    If all 8 look like that then I dont know what to say.
    When I had my first alignment done at 10k when I put my first lift on. (Not the dealer) told me I needed new cam bolts and what not as it couldn't be aligned properly. I told him to piss up a rope, its a brand new truck.

    referring just to the cam bolt, in my case the failure allowed that joint to move. if you grabbed the LCA with two arms, wheel off, the arm would move with a pretty strong metal on metal sound and the bolt wouldn't tighten down enough.

    Anyone know if gaps like this is normal between eccentrics and tabs? Or does the eccentric have to be flush on both sides
